- a radial carcass 26 has a two or more ply structure comprising a turnup ply 26-1 wound around a bead core 25 from inside of the tire toward outside and a down ply 26-2 enveloping the turnup ply 26-1 from the outside in order to mitigate a deformation degree crushed under flat running as far as possible.
- a hard stiffener rubber 27 extending from an outer peripheral surface of the bead core 25 up to a position near a maximum tire width S is arranged so as to sandwich between the turnup ply 26-1 and the down ply 26-2.
- a rubberized layer containing Kevlar cords or steel cords therein (called as an insert ply) is sometimes arranged so as to extend from the bead portion 22 to the sidewall portion 23.
- a type rim type incorporating a tire support member into the rim is main.

- numeral 1 is a pneumatic tire for a passenger car.
- the tire 1 comprises a pair of bead portions 2, a pair of sidewall portions 3, a tread portion 4 connecting to both the sidewall portions 3, and a radial carcass 6 of one or more rubberized cord plies, two plies in the illustrated embodiment extending between a pair of bead cores 5 embedded in the bead portions 2 and reinforcing the portions 2, 3, 4.
- the carcass 6 of the illustrated embodiment comprises a turnup ply 6-1 wound around the bead core 5 from inside of the tire toward outside thereof to form a turnup portion 6-1u having a turnup end 6-1uE, and a down ply 6-2 enveloping a main body of the turnup ply 6-1 and the turnup portion 6-1u from outside and terminated in the vicinity of the bead core 5.
- the turnup ply 6-1 forms an innermost carcass ply.
- the carcass 6 may comprise only the turnup ply 6-1 without using the down ply 6-2.
- the tire 1 has a stiffener rubber 7 taperingly extending from an outer peripheral surface of the bead core 5 toward the tread portion 4.
- the turnup ply 6-1 envelops the stiffener rubber 7 with its main body and turnup portion 6-1u.
- steel cord is used at least for the turnup ply 6-1.
- the cord for the turnup ply 6-1 may be an organic fiber cord such as rayon cord, nylon cord or the like.
- the invention is described with respect to the use of the steel cord in all plies of the carcass 6.
- the belt 8 comprises two or more layers, two cross cord layers in the illustrated embodiment, desirably two cross steel cord layers and further has an organic fiber cord layer shown by dotted lines in FIG. 1 enveloping the two cross steel cord layers, for example, a helically winding layer of nylon-66 cord or Kevlar cord.
- the cross steel cord layers are arranged to cross the steel cords of these layers with each other with respect to an equatorial plane E of the tire. In the illustrated embodiment, a width of the steel cord layer adjacent to the carcass 6 is wider than that of an outer steel cord layer.
- the tire 1 is provided a pair of reinforcing rubber strips 9, which is inherent to a run-flat tire, each having a crescent-shaped section and located at an inner face side of the turnup ply 6-1 in the carcass 6.
- Numeral 10 is an innerliner of halogenated butyl rubber having an air impermeability. Therefore, the tire 1 is a tubeless tire.
- FIG. 1 sectionally illustrates a tire-rim assembly formed by assembling the tire 1 onto an approved rim 15 (according to the above TRA standard, shown by only a profile line) and inflated under a slight air pressure corresponding to 15% of a maximum air pressure of the tire 1 (according to the above TRA standard).
- the section of the assembly inflated under such a slight air pressure as a whole must satisfy the following condition.
- turnup portion 6-1u of the turnup ply 6-1 contacts with the main body of the turnup ply 6-1 inward from the standard line PA in the radial direction of the tire 1.
- the turnup portion 6-1u of the turnup ply 6-1 extends over the top C of the stiffener rubber 7 outward in the radial direction of the tire 1 and a part of the turnup portion 6-1u exceeding the top C of the stiffener rubber 7 is arranged to contact with the main body of the turnup ply 6-1.
- the section height SH of the tire under a maximum air pressure is deformed by a large deflection ⁇ at the flat state.
- the deflection ⁇ becomes larger, the run-flat durability lowers, while as the deflection ⁇ becomes small, the run-flat durability improves. That is, the deflection ⁇ is inversely proportional to the run-flat durability as mentioned below.
- the deflecting ratio is 37.8% in the conventional tire 21B and 38.5% in the comparative tire 21C, while that is held to 35.0% in the tire 21A (using the steel cords).
- the run-flat durability is evaluated by pushing each of the tires against a drum rotating at a surface speed of 89 km/h at an internal pressure of zero (state removing a valve core) under a load of 540 kgf corresponding to about 76% of a maximum load capacity (710 kgf) of the tire and measuring a running distance until the occurrence of trouble.
- the evaluation results are represented by an index on the basis that the conventional tire 21B is 100, in which the larger the index value, the better the durability.
- the index value of the run-flat durability is 95 in the comparative tire 21C, while that is 138 in the tire 21A using the steel cord ply in the carcass 26.
- the tire 21A using the steel cords in the plies 26-1, 26-2 of the carcass 26 can make the deflecting ratio (%) smaller that those of the other tires 21B, 21C and largely improves the run-flat durability. It is apparent that the deflecting ratio (%) and the run-flat durability have substantially a relation of inverse proportion.
- a tensile strain region is existent in ⁇ zone shown by a surrounding of a solid line inward from the line segment PA in the radial direction of the tire and at the inside of the tire in the bead portion 22 and its neighborhood.
- a compression region is existent outward from the ⁇ zone and from dotted lines.
- a tensile strain region is existent in ⁇ zone shown by a surrounding of a solid line at the outside of the tire in the sidewall portion 23 and hence a compression region is existent inward from the ⁇ zone and from dotted lines.
- the ⁇ zone is a zone ranging from a position that an innermost height h from the rim diameter line RL in the radial direction of the tire is 0.35 times a height SHp of the innermost ply 26-1 from the rim diameter line RL to a position that an outermost height H from the rim diameter line RL in the radial direction of the tire is 0.90 times the height SHp.
- a large tensile rigidity inherent to the steel cord can advantageously be utilized to reduce the deflection ⁇ and hence it is possible to decrease the deflecting ratio (%).
- the range of the tensile zone ⁇ is wide and the value of the tensile strain is large, so that the top C of the stiffener rubber 7 is located inward from the standard line (line segment) PA (see FIGS.
- a ratio (Cr/Ar) of height Cr of the top C of the stiffener rubber measured from the rim diameter line RL to height Ar of the intersect A of the standard line (line segment) PA measured from the rim diameter line RL is 0.45 in Example 1, 0.71 in Example 2 and 0.88 in Example 3.
- the deflecting ratio of the tire is 32.8% in Example 1, 34.0% in Example 2, 34.7% in Example 3, 35.1% in Comparative Example 1, 35.0% in Comparative Example 2, and 35.0% in Comparative Example 3.
- the deflecting ratio of the tire 21A is 35.0%.
- the running distance until the occurrence of trouble is represented by an index on the basis that the tire 21A is 100.
- the index value of the running distance is 128 in Example 1, 110 in Example 2, 103 in Example 3, 100 in Comparative Example 1, 101 in Comparative Example 2 and 101 in Comparative Example 3.
- the ratio Cr/Ar is adaptable to be less than 1.0, desirably 0.45-0.88.
- the run-flat durability of the tire 1 is largely improved by applying the steel cord to at least turnup ply 6-1 among the plies of the carcass 6, locating the top C of the stiffener rubber 7 inward from the standard line PA in the radial direction of the tire, and contacting the turnup portion 6-1u of the turnup ply 6-1 with the main body of the turnup ply 6-1 inward from the standard line PA in the radial direction of the tire.
- the cord twisting structure of the steel cord used in the carcass 6, 26 of the aforementioned tire is 1 ⁇ 5 ⁇ 0.15. Moreover, the steel cord having a cord twisting structure of 1 ⁇ n (n is an integer of 2-7) and a filament diameter of 0.125-0.275 mm is suitable for the plies 6-1, 6-2 in the carcass 6 of the tire 1.
- the steel cord used in the invention is favorable to have a high elongation property that total elongation at break of a cord at a bare state (according to JIS G3510-1986) is not less than 3.5%, desirably not less than 4.0%.
- the steel cord must satisfy a property based on the following test.
- a ratio of total area of steel filaments occupied in an area of a cord composite excluding a portion projected from an outermost filament is within a range of 0.45-0.95.
- the length of 15 mm in the longitudinal direction of the cord means 15 mm as a cord length in the X-ray photograph.
- the area occupying ratio R is an average of 10 measured values when an X-ray is irradiated to the sidewall portion 3 in the vicinity of a position S of a maximum width of the tire 1 from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the sidewall portion 3 at 10 places in the circumferential direction of the tire by using K-2 model made by Softec Co., Ltd. to obtain 10 X-ray photographs.
- the area occupying ratio R is less than 0.45, a contact area between each filament and rubber increases to more control corrosion propagation through water content, but a tensile modulus as the steel cord becomes too low and hence the bending rigidity required in the carcass 6 can not be satisfied, while when the area occupying ratio R exceeds 0.95, the filament itself hardly deforms and the resistance to compression fatigue is degraded.
- the area occupying ratio R is preferably within a range of 0.50-0.90, more particularly 0.55-0.75.
- the steel cord used in the plies 6-1, 6-2 of the carcass 6 is a so-called open twisted cord having a wide space in an inside of an outer cord envelop in which the filaments are substantially independent in rubber matrix and contact with each other in a point.
- the contact area between each filament of the cord and rubber can be increased to a maximum to control the abrasion due to the friction between the mutual filaments or fretting.
- the penetration of water into a space between mutual filaments of the cord can be prevented and hence the corrosion propagation through water mainly resulted in the degradation of the durability in the steel cord can be controlled to largely improve the corrosion resistance.
- a greater amount of rubber existing in the inside of the steel cord contributes to increase the bending rigidity of the steel cord.
- pneumatic tires having particularly an aspect ratio of not less than 60 which hold a good rim-assembling property without using the tire support member and maintain the ride comfort against vibrations at an acceptable range without considerably raising the cost and damaging the productivity in the building operation in view of the production, and guarantee the safe running of the vehicle such as passenger car or the like even in the rapid air leakage due to puncture or the like and can improve the performance of preventing the separation of the tire from the rim and the durability in the run-flat running to levels satisfied by a user as a run-flat tire.
